On Trump

[highfigh]

Yes all too aware of such. White nationalism has been strong, and in your city, particularly strong fwiw. Fear sells.

Care to elaborate on White nationalism in Milwaukee which, BTW, IS NOT where I live, as I have posted many times- I live just outside of MKE. Not in a lily white section, just too close for comfort at this point.

Fear definitely does sell.

I really don't know what caused your brain death, but it's sad. Those comments were from the documentary I watched the night before I posted them.

You must not have read the link- talking out of your ass again.

Now that is the pot calling the kettle black.

So, what needs to be done with Trump and the GOP majority, folks? We all know nothing will be more upsetting or new with Trump and the GOP, for the next 3-1/2 years. The Supreme Court continues to address GOP dominance, and will they interpret the laws correctly or not? Is that the $64,000 question, the next 3-1/2 years? Thoughts out there?
